A Test Particle Monte Carlo Method

چکیده
-A Monte Carlo technique was developed suitable for investigating rarefied gas dynamics problems. The procedure is based on the 'test particle' method. The discontinuous function frequently employed for describing the target molecules' velocity distribution is replaced here by a continuous analytic function, the form of which is prescribed prior to the calculations. This modification simplifies the calculations, reduces the computer storage requirements, and facilitates the application of the method to multi-dimensional problems. The accuracy and versatility of the technique was evaluated by obtaining solutions to several one dimensional problems for which other results exist.

متن کاملMonte Carlo Simulation of the Flow of a Rarefied Gas Around a Cylinder
A Monte Carlo technique is described for simulating the high-speed flow of a rarefied gas around a cylindrical body. The method uses a hard-sphere model, or, alternatively, the "Maxwellian" model to compute collisions between particles. A representative "test particle" is scattered in such a way that its statistical behavior approximates that of a random particle chosen from the actual gas. Thi...
متن کاملMonte-Carlo Calculation of Radon Absorbed Dose in Optical Fiber as a Novel Method in Dosimetry and Radon Measurement
Introduction Radon is a colorless and tasteless gas which exists in most soils. It is a substance that poses a potential risk for lung cancer in case a person is exposed to high levels over long periods of time. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that 90% of lung cancers per year are caused by radon. The aim of this paper is to estimate the absorbed doses of 222Rn by MCNPX simu...

متن کاملApplication of MCNP4C Monte Carlo code in radiation dosimetry in heterogeneous phantom
Background: In treating patients with radiation, the degree of accuracy for the delivery of tumor dose is recommended to be within ± 5% by ICRU in report 24. The experimental studies have shown that the presence of low-density inhomogeneity in areas such as the lung can lead to a greater than 30% change in the water dose data. Therefore, inhomogeneity corrections should be used in treatment pla...
